RIO DE JANEIRO -- The Rio Games organizing committee can take public money to put on the upcoming Paralympic Games.The judicial ruling amounts to a government bailout, an embarrassment to Rio organizers who had promised they could run their operating budget using only private money. The games run Sept. 7-18.The money will be used mainly in services and for clients and athletes, travel grants, food -- everything we need to do to make sure the athletes have their best, Rio organizing committee spokesman Mario Andrada said Thursday.Andrada attributed the revenue shortfall to the level of ticket sales and sponsorships for the Paralympics that has been below our expectations.Federal judge Guilherme Couto de Castro ruled the organizing committee can accept 150 million Brazilian reals ($46.5 million) in government money to fill the budget gap. His ruling overturned an injunction handed down last week that prohibited the organizing committee from getting taxpayer money.Andrada said only 12 percent of 2.3 million Paralympic tickets had been sold. He said Rio de Janeiro Mayor Eduardo Paes was barred from buying 500,000 Paralympic tickets for school children and the poor because it could be seen as a political move to influence voting.Andrada suggested that even the government bailout might not be large enough. Asked how much money was needed, he said about 200 million reals ($62 million) to fulfil the obligation at the level of service that we have agreed with the International Paralympic Committee. He said the final figure is still being assessed.He denied that the troubled Rio Olympics, faced with last-minute expenses like repairing the athletes village, had taken money from the Paralympics.None of the problems weve had in the Olympics were serious enough to produce a negative impact on the Paralympics, Andrada said. We didnt use money that had been stamped for the Paralympics.The Rio Olympic operating budget is 7.4 billion reals ($2.3 billion) and comes from sponsorships, ticket sales, merchandise sales, and a grant from the International Olympic Committee. This is the budget to run only the games themselves.A separate capital budget of between $10 billion to $12 billion is a mix of public and private money and was used to build sports venue, roads and subway lines.---Stephen Wade on Twitter: http://twitter.com/StephenWadeAP .His work can be found at http://bigstory.ap.org/content/stephen-wadeRangers Jerseys 2020 .Y. -- Syracuse has turned up the defence at the right time all season, and when High Point threatened to pull off a monumental upset the second-ranked Orange did what they do best with their quick hands and savvy play.

The 1.83-meter (6-foot) Leapai defeated the previously unbeaten Denis Boytsov in November to become the WBOs mandatory challenger.COLUMBUS, Ohio -- The Ohio State-Michigan game is big enough by itself to be considered one of the greatest rivalries in college football.No matter what the records are, the annual border battle is intense for the players and fans. Bragging rights are a big deal, particularly in Ohio. This game means everything to the players.This year, theres even more at stake when second-ranked Ohio State (10-1, 7-1 Big Ten) and No. 3 Michigan (10-1, 7-1) square off on Saturday at Ohio Stadium in Columbus (noon, ABC).The two teams are playing for a share of the Big Ten East Division title, the right to go to the conference championship game in Indianapolis next month and an anticipated berth in the College Football Playoff.Its officially rivalry week, Ohio State coach Urban Meyer declared after last Saturdays narrow escape at Michigan State with a 17-16 victory. Our eyes are forward. Lets go.Without a doubt, this is the most important game of the season in college football. ESPNs College GameDay is expanding to five hours from three during rivalry Saturday.Its going to be intense. The game of the century, Ohio State defensive end Jalyn Holmes said after the Buckeyes survived at Michigan State when the Spartans failed on a go-ahead two-point conversion attempt with less than five minutes remaining.A win over Michigan doesnt necessarily guarantee Ohio State a berth in the Big Ten championship or a playoff berth. If Ohio State takes down Michigan and Penn State beats Michigan State on Saturday in State College, Pa., the Nittany Lions go to Lucas Oil Stadium to likely face Wisconsin, based on a head-to-head win over the Buckeyes last month.All the Buckeyes can do is win and then hope Michigan State pulls off the upset. Even if Ohio State beats Michigan and doesnt get to Indianapolis, theres still a strong possibility of landing a spot in the four-team national playoff.Asked about the postseason possibilities, Meyer dodged the question in his only media availability of the week. As an Ohio native who grew up watching this game, he recognizes the history and importance of Michigan-Ohio State.I hope that our two tackles ankles are completely healed, Meyer responded. And we have to have a great Tuesday practice.For the Wolverines, the formula is much simpler. Win and theyre in Indianapolis for the first time since the Big Ten begin playing its championship game in 2011. Michigan hasnt won a conference title since 2004.I feel like were ready to go to battle, in a football kind of way, Michigan coach Jim Harbaugh said. And Im ready to lead them.Ohio State has dominated the series in recent years, winning 11 of the last 12 meetings.dddddddddddd The only Michigan victory came in 2011 after Jim Tressel resigned as Ohio State coach in the wake of a scandal and Luke Fickell took over for one year before Meyer arrived.In Harbaughs first year in 2015, the Wolverines didnt fare so well, losing 42-13 at home to the Buckeyes. Harbaughs arrival has definitely injected some extra pizazz into the game, if it needed any more. The Meyer-Harbaugh coaching matchup is reminiscent of the Woody Hayes-Bo Schembechler era when the series was in its heyday in the 1970s.Saturdays clash will be the biggest in the series since the epic 2006 game when the teams entered as Nos. 1 and 2 in the country. Ohio State, led by Heisman Trophy winner Troy Smith, came away with a 42-39 victory in Columbus. The Buckeyes have not lost to the Wolverines in Columbus since 2000.Ive never been in a top-five Michigan game, Holmes said. But we could either both be in the top five or we could both be 0-11. Its still going to be intense.The teams appear to match up evenly. Both defenses are dominant and the two offenses are balanced. They rank No. 1 and 2 in the Big Ten in scoring offense and defense, and also in total offense and defense.When you face an elite defense like this, you need everything youve got, Meyer said.Michigan has more experience at the outside skill positions on offense and also has at its disposal the multitalented Jabrill Peppers, who plays defensive back but also returns kicks and takes some snaps on offense.Ohio State is led by J.T. Barrett at quarterback. He could be the difference-maker in this game because of his ability to run and pass with a school-record 99 career touchdowns accounted for. Two years ago, he was in the process of leading the Buckeyes to a win over the Wolverines when he suffered a broken ankle at the start of the fourth quarter.Michigan, meanwhile, had John OKorn make his first start of the season at quarterback in last weeks win over Indiana after Wilton Speight, who started all year, suffered a shoulder injury in the Wolverines loss at Iowa. Harbaugh wont say which one will start Saturday, only that Speight is day to day.The quarterback situation adds some intrigue to a game that needs no more hype.Its No. 2 vs. No. 3. Weve never been in this position before. This is unreal, Michigan offensive lineman Erik Magnuson said. A lot different than in the past when it was like hopefully, we can pull out a big upset. ...
